Piano Jazz for January 31, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Tony DeSare"
Tony DeSare has recently earned a reputation as one of New York's hottest young singer/pianists. Whether performing classic standards or sophisticated original compositions, DeSare delivers a cool vocal tone with swinging piano accompaniment. He sings and plays his deliciously romantic original, "How I Will Say I Love You," and McPartland backs him on "Memories of You."
For over 20 remarkable years, jazz pianist Marian McPartland and her guests have teamed up for an hour of weekly jazz sessions. Whether it's solos, collaboration, reminiscences, or straight talk about influences and style, no two Piano Jazz sessions are ever the same.
More than 500 exciting, talented, jazz professionals (newcomers and all-time favorites) have joined Marian over the years. In fact, Piano Jazz, a production of South Carolina Educational Radio, has been hailed as the "definitive" place to hear the greats of jazz.
Why? Piano Jazz hits a perfect balance between historical perspective and sheer entertainment, a formula that has made the series the longest-running national performance program on public radio.
